DigiDarla is the brain child of Kim Eskola and her daughter Emilea. Emilea
and I both enjoy creating and when the idea of creating digital stamps
came up, it sounded like the most wonderful way to earn ever!
There was only one problem! We are both shy and dislike the center of
attention! As a way of "hiding behind the scenes" and avoiding having
one spokeswoman, DigiDarla was born!"

"I have been a crafter for as long as I can remember, I got it from my
mother,(an amazing artist). I was a sissor papers scrapbooker since my
first son was born in 1997 but in 2005 I fell head over heels for
digital scrapbooking. I started teaching myself how to make my own
papers and elemts soon after I switched over. In 2009 I opened my etsy
shop using my papers and elements to make digital collage sheets for
pendant makers. In 2010 I started taking graphic arts classes at a
local collage and learned to use the "adobe suite" which has opened a
whole new world to me."

"I am so excited to be able to share my art with you. Drawing has always
been such a big part of my life. I am the proud mama of three girls and
the happy wife to one fantastic husband. We are raising our family in
the country along with our assortment of animals: A cow, (too many)
chickens, a golden retriever, cat and a couple of goats. I love this
life, and wouldn't change it for a second. My art is definitely a
reflection of our animals and surroundings. (They are bound to pop up
somewhere in my drawings) I hope you are inspired to create your own
"works of art."
-Becca"
